And my ignorance for how others perceive me only seems to be affecting you. Enjoy your lack of esteem.
BTW, Wikipedia is definitely the best resource for looking definitions to words as apposed to a dictionary which puts *****exual second to happy.
Words are useful to communication because they have generally accepted meanings.
While those meanings can change over time, the commonly accepted definitions for "gay" are "*****exual" or "happy", not "lame".
If you wish to continue to write in a style that sounds ignorant, well, it's a free country.
And you're the one who has problems with form-fitting, cycling-specific clothing...my self-esteem is just fine.
